Definitions
- the invention relates to the field of processes for manufacturing containers by blow molding or stretch blow molding.
- a preform or intermediate container of synthetic material such as PET is brought to a temperature above the glass transition temperature of the material and then inserted into a molding unit. Air under high pressure of the order of 40 bars is inserted into the preform or the intermediate container whose wall expands until it is pressed against the mold to be shaped. Then, the pressure in the container is lowered to open the molding unit and evacuate the container at atmospheric pressure.
- the invention relates to processes in which the pressure increase is carried out in steps by connecting the container during manufacture, firstly to a first air network at an intermediate pressure, then to a second air system. higher pressure, and so on.
- This allows the use of less expensive intermediate pressure air sources rather than the exclusive use of a maximum pressure air source.
- the pressure drop can be done in stages. This allows the air of the high pressure compressed container to empty into the intermediate pressure network and recover some of the energy.
- the physical equilibrium may change according to parameters of the environment, or parameters related to the preform, or to the bottle, which implies improvements in the process to remain optimum.
- the invention aims in particular to remedy these disadvantages, by proposing a method for improving the quality of the containers produced, while now - even increasing - production rates and optimizing energy savings.
- the process for manufacturing thermoplastic containers by stretch-blow molding is constituted in a known manner by a succession of manufacturing cycles during each of which a new container is manufactured, each manufacturing cycle comprising a pre-production phase. blowing where a preform is connected to a pre-blast air network (SO) so that the preform becomes a container ready to be blown during a global blowing phase which successively comprises at least the sub-phases following:
- SO pre-blast air network
- the opening of the mold comprising the disconnection of the nozzle.
- At least one characteristic point of the pressure (Prt) in the container is selected, that is to say a point of the curve of the pressures measured in the container.
- Said characteristic point is taken from among the selectable points that are, if there are several blows, the transition (E) between two successive blows; if there are several recoveries, the transition (G) between two successive recoveries and the transition (H) between the last recovery and the degassing;
- a triggering criterion (
- the pressure (Prt) in the container is measured, for each selected point, the following are determined from the measured pressure curves:
- the set instant is the moment for which the criterion has taken a value equal to the predetermined value
- the set time is later than the actual time and is determined so that at this time the criterion takes a value approximating or coinciding with the predetermined value .
- the tripping criterion is the absolute value of the pressure difference between the container and the air network to which the container is connected during the sub-phase immediately before the characteristic point.
- the method includes a measurement step during the manufacturing and acquisition cycle data of the pressure in the air network to which the container is connected before the selected characteristic point.
- the triggering criterion is the absolute value of the slope of the pressure in the container.
- a time increment adapted to the selected characteristic point and to the determined criterion is determined and in which, if the effective value of the criterion at the selected characteristic point is greater than the predetermined value, the set point for the next cycle is equal to the effective moment for the cycle just measured, increased by the increment.
- the criterion is simulated after the effective instant and in which the set point for the following cycle is equal to the moment for which the simulated criterion takes a value equal to the predetermined value.
- a predetermined threshold of degassing end pressure is determined and determined from the measured pressure curves an instant (t f ) effective end of blowing (F) and the pressure in the container just before the opening of the mold, and in which an instant (t ' f ) end of blowing setpoint is determined for a subsequent manufacturing cycle, which setpoint time (t' f ) is earlier than, equal to or after the instant ( t f ) effective end of blowing according to the pressure in the container just before the opening of the mold is respectively greater, equal to or less than the degassing end pressure threshold.
- an end of degassing target (t k ) is determined for which the measured pressure in the container is equal to the predetermined threshold, and wherein the instant (t ' f ) end of blow setpoint (F') for the subsequent manufacturing cycle is subsequent to the instant (t f ) effective end of blow a duration equal to the time elapsing from the instant (t k ) degassing target until the instant (t L ) effective opening of the mold.
- the instant (t ' f ) end of blowing setpoint for a subsequent manufacturing cycle is determined
- a starting position of first recovery is determined and a single blow is used from the network (S2) of the highest pressure air, - Then, when the average pressure in the recovery network (RI) reaches a predetermined threshold, determining an initial position of transition between the penultimate blow and the last blow,
- the method uses a carousel equipped with a plurality of stretch-blow molding stations, each connected to the various networks (S0, S1, S2, R1, R2) of air, some or all of said stations being stations reference.
- the pressure M is measured in the reference point of each of the reference stations, and a corresponding setpoint time is determined.
- the distribution of said setpoint is analyzed and either an alert message or a stability message is determined, or an average set point time for the selected point. If an average setpoint time is determined, said average setpoint time is applied in all stretch blow molding stations, from a subsequent manufacturing cycle.
- connection valve corresponding to the sub-phase following the characteristic point is controlled.
- the timing instructions for actuating the connection valves of the container are determined by taking into account the response time of said valves so that the effective closure of the valve to be closed is earlier or coincides with the instant (s) of effective opening of the valve to open.
- a degassing pressure threshold a time (t a) effective start of pre-blowing (A), a time (t L) effective mold opening, and a time ( t k ) degassing end target, such as the effective pressure or simulated as if there was no mold opening, is equal to the degassing end pressure threshold, and in which a cadence setpoint is determined for the subsequent manufacturing cycle equal to the cycle rate coming from to be measured, multiplied by the duration between the instant (t a ) of the beginning of pre-blowing and the moment (t L ) of opening of the mold, divided by the duration between the instant (t a ) of beginning pre-blowing and the instant (t k ) end of degassing target.
- FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating a molding installation for the manufacture of container according to the method.
- FIG. 2 is an air pressure measurement in the container
- FIG. 3 illustrates a first embodiment of the method
- FIG. 4 illustrates a second embodiment of the method
- FIG. 5 illustrates a third embodiment of the method
- FIG. 6 illustrates a fourth embodiment of the method
- Figure 7 illustrates a fifth embodiment of the method.
- a stretch-blow molding unit 1 of a thermoplastic preform 2 comprises a mold forming a two-part molding cavity 3 which can move apart in order to release the container produced.
- the molding unit 1 further comprises a blowing nozzle 4 equipped with a vertically movable elongation rod.
- the blowing nozzle 4 is connected by valves 6 to a pre-blowing air network S 0, an intermediate pressure blowing network SI, a maximum pressure blowing air network S 2, an intermediate recovery network R 1 and a blowing network. R2 network of last recovery.
- the blowing nozzle 4 is also connected to the atmospheric pressure via a silencer 7 and comprises a pressure sensor 8.
- the preform 2 comprises a neck 9 and a body 10 which is preheated before being introduced into the cavity 3 by a retaining means 11.
- the cavity 3 is closed around the body 10, the blowing nozzle 4 mates with the neck 9 and the sensor 8 can then measure the pressure in the body 10.
- valve S0 pre-blowing network is open.
- the preheated body 9 begins to expand and the pressure Pr (t) in the body 10 increases as if the pressure in the container would equilibrate with the pressure of the network S0.
- the elongation rod 5 descends into the body 10 to stretch it axially. This refines the wall of the body 10 and rapidly increases the internal volume of the body 10. The air pressure then drops temporarily until the body has the length of the cavity 3, as indicated by point C of FIG. Then, the air The network SO continues to flow into the body 10 and the pressure rises again.
- This blowing phase comprises the following sub-phases:
- valve of the pre-blowing network SO is closed at the instant t d and the valve of the first supply network SI is open.
- the valves are controlled by a control unit 12.
- the air of the network SI flows into the container via the blowing nozzle 4 and the pressure Pr (t) in the container increases as if it were to equilibrate with the substantially stable pressure of the intermediate blowing network SI.
- the valve of the network SI is closed and the valve of the network S2 of maximum blowing is open.
- the maximum blowing system pressure can be about 40 bar. The air flow in the container is then faster and the triggering of the maximum blowing results in a point of inflection in E on the curve Pr (t).
- the air then flows from the container to the network RI and the pressure curve Pr (t) has the appearance characteristic of an air flow between two tanks of different pressures in order to balance their pressures.
- This intermediate flow makes it possible to recover a part of the compression energy contained in the volume of air at 40 bar of the container.
- the air of the network RI may, after filtering, supply the network SI intermediate blowing.
- the control unit 12 closes the valve of the network RI and opens that of the network R2.
- the engagement of this second recovery takes place before the pressure in the vessel has reached the pressure of the RI network. This accelerates the drop in pressure Pr (t) in the container.
- the air recovered in the network R2 can feed the S0 pre-blowing network.
- the mold opens. That is, the blowing nozzle 4 rises and the cavity 3 moves apart to release the finished container.
- the production cycle comprises a stage S0-R2 pre-blowing and last recovery and an intermediate stage Sl-Rl.
- the recovery cycle may comprise several successive intermediate stages, and that the blowing cycle may comprise several blast stages.
- the object of the invention is to optimize the curve Pr (t) to maximize the blowing efficiency.
- We can for example increase the proportion of the time when the pressure is maintained at 40 bars in the container.
- the invention proposes to analyze whether the instants of switching between sub-phases are optimal as a function of a predetermined criterion, and then to modify the instruction for changing sub-phases for subsequent production cycles.
- a first optimization criterion may be a pressure difference between the container and the network to which this container is connected. For example, for an intermediate recovery stage (Sl-R1) at around 20 bar, when the pressure in the container approaches 0.5 bar of the pressure of the network to which this container is connected, it is considered that the airflow between the two is too slow and it is better to trigger the switch to the next sub-phase.
- Sl-R1 intermediate recovery stage
- a computer records, as a function of time, the pressure Pr (t) in the container and the pressure in the intermediate blowing network SI and in the networks RI, R2 intermediate recovery. At the end of the data acquisition cycle, the curves are analyzed.
- An exploration zone Ze has been predetermined around the opening and closing control points of the valves, so that the triggering point E of the second sub-phase of blowing is susceptible of to be there.
- a calculator determines the time t e where the trigger occurs.
- the computer deduces the actual value of the pressure Pr (t e ) in the container and the pressure PI (t e ) in the first network SI blowing.
- the calculator explores the previous instants until it finds an instant t e for which the criterion P1 (t 'e) - Pr (t' e) is equal to 0.5 bar. This instant t ' e is then a set point to trigger the next sub-phase during a subsequent manufacturing cycle.
- the computer simulates the prolongation of the pressure curve in the container as if there was no triggering of the next sub-phase.
- the calculator deduces an instant t ' e for which the criterion P1 (t' e ) - Pr (t ' e ) is equal to the predetermined difference. The moment t ' e thus determined serves as a setpoint for triggering the next sub-phase during a subsequent manufacturing cycle.
- the computer After determining the instant or times t g , t h effective subphase change, the computer measures the absolute value of the pressure difference between the container and the network to which the container is connected before this change. If this difference is less than a predetermined value for this criterion, such as 0.5 bar, a setpoint time t ' g or t' h is determined to trigger the change of sub-phase during a subsequent manufacturing cycle.
- a predetermined value for this criterion such as 0.5 bar
- the calculator determines an instant t ' e earlier for which the criterion - ⁇ t A is equal to the slope
- This criterion has the advantage of using the calculation of the derivative carried out to determine the instant effective e . In addition, it avoids measuring the pressure in the air network concerned. This avoids having to filter these measures.
- the slope of the pressure curve in the container is directly representative of the mean pressure difference at the instant considered.
- Figure 7 illustrates a subsequent process step. It is considered that during a number of previous cycles of manufacture, the points E, G, H change of blow and recovery sub-phase have already been optimized and that it has been found that the process is relatively stable from one cycle to another.
- the object of this step of the process is either to optimize the duration of the maximum pressure bearing or to optimize the rate of the stretch blow molding machine. A combination of these two optimizations is also possible.
- degassing end pressure threshold for example of the order of 0.5 bar, for which the mold can be opened and the blow nozzle 4 removed without risking any degrade the sealing mechanism of the nozzle 4 blowing and without causing excessive noise. Therefore, if, as illustrated in FIG. 7, the pressure in the container reaches this end of degassing threshold before the opening of the mold, it is because time is lost. This unnecessary time can be reported in the bearing at maximum pressure and / or accelerates the rate of manufacture.
- the calculator determines the effective average pressure in the container in a period of time preceding the opening of the mold. This period of time is predetermined so as to be short in relation to the duration of degassing and longer than the transient phase of pressure drop in a container which contains still a pressure of one or a few bars when opening the mold. If this average effective pressure is lower than the degassing end pressure threshold, the computer explores the curve Pr (t) and determines a time t k for which Pr (t k ) is equal to said threshold. This instant t k is said target instant end of degassing.
- the calculator calculates the first and possibly second derivative of the curve Pr (t) in said period, and calculates a simulated pressure curve in the container after opening the mold as if the opening had not occurred.
- the calculator determines an end t k target degassing end for which the simulated pressure would be equal to the degassing end pressure threshold. This target degassing time is then posterior to the effective opening of the mold.
- the computer determines the instant t f end of blowing, that is to say the actual start time of the first recovery. It also determines the instant t L of opening of the mold.
- the instant t ' f end of blowing is later than the instant t' f end of blowing end of a duration equal to the time elapsing from the end t k target degassing end until the instant t L effective opening of the mold.
- the characteristic points F, G, H and K will be translated of this duration and will become F ', G', H 'and K' illustrated in dotted lines.
- the moment K 'and the opening of the mold will be simultaneous.
- the instant t ' f of the end of blowing is prior to the end time t f end effective blowing, of a duration equal to the time elapsing from the opening of the mold to the simulated target t k end degassing end.
- the instant t ' f of the end of blowing setpoint can be obtained by removing at the instant t f effective end of blowing a predetermined duration.
- the computer determines the time t a of pre-blowing start and the instant t L effective opening of the mold.
- the set rate for a subsequent manufacturing cycle is equal to the rate during the current cycle multiplied by the duration between the pre-blast start time t a and the mold opening instant t f , divided by the duration between the instant t has the beginning of pre-blowing and the instant t k target end degassing.
